Elections Rules from Bylaws
- “Public campaigning” is defined as campaigning utilizing publicly distributed printed materials, websites, or public social media.
- All campaigning must be done in accordance with Law School policies.
- Campaign materials may only be affixed on designated flyer boards.
- Candidates may not tamper with the campaign materials of other candidates.
- Candidates and tickets may not spend more than $100 during the course of a campaign advocating the election or rejection of a candidate or ticket.
- Candidates may not give away food or drinks as part of the campaign.
- Students cannot harass, threaten, or coerce others to vote or not vote.
Clarifications to the Rules based on Questions Received
- Bylaws rules that specify they apply to candidates, such as the $100 spending limit, do not apply to referenda.
- General rules around campaigning, such as against harassing, threatening, or coercing others to vote or not vote, do apply to referenda.
- Voter coercion includes promising or giving away money, gift cards, or other monetary incentives to influence students’ vote.
- Once voting begins, public campaigning is no longer allowed. Per our Bylaws, ““Public campaigning” is defined as campaigning utilizing publicly distributed printed materials, websites, or public social media.” “Public” as used in this definition will be understood to include campaigning that is directed to the general student body or random members thereof. In keeping with last year’s interpretation, “Public social media” includes group chats of entire student organizations.
- “Public campaigning” does not include communication students opt-in to receiving, such as events or non-public, personal social media.
- Communications that encourage voting or publicize election information without advocating for a specific candidate or option do not fall under campaigning and the rule against “public campaigning” once voting starts. If you are unsure if your communications are impartial as to a candidate or option, we ask that you seek pre-approval by emailing us at [email protected].
